Cricket Collective - Should James Rew OPEN for England & Is Bethell Not Playing in the IPL Bad News for the Test side?

Is James Rew ready to open the batting for England after a superb start to the County Championship season, or does he need to bat in the top order for Somerset soon? Does he come in for Zak Crawley, or do England re-arrange the batting order to fit him in? Is Jacob Bethell putting his place in the side at risk by not playing any Cricket before the New Zealand series? Can Warwickshire challenge for the County Championship after a strong victory over Essex? Is England's fast bowling stocks bright ahead of the 2027 Ashes?
